Recently I have started doing work over scriptlance and I’ve come to terms of “Escrow”. This did throw me at first but once you do read and have a look at scriptlances great diagram, you will understand. Heres is how it works…

1. You search for projects
2. Apply and bid for the project
3. If you win the bid, your obviously going to do the work, if not…. bid on more!
4. Once you’ve done the work the employer will put the money in the “Escrow Account”
5. Upon full complete end of the job, the money is transfered into your scriptlance account
6. Now you can do what you want with it.

Its all very simple and its great if you like the security of your work, another niffty feature is you can get a certain percentage of the job salary paid before you touch your keyboard. Personally I always ask for 20% or less before I start the job, this is a insentive and also a guarantee that the employer does have the money to pay you.

Heres the image that scriptlance shows you in they’re about section, its great!

So this week, as promised everyday around 4PM(UTC) We’ve posted a new cheatsheet for a particular subject. They’ve already helped so many people and I hope, as a website developer, they can help you too.

The cheatsheets themselves just contain the tags for code, no explanation apart from sone that do contain a small caption next to them. A very good skill to have during developing online is to look at code and be able to reaad what it does without breaking it down. For example…

<?php wp_login(); ?>

Means This is the Wordpress Login Text

Many langauges make sure you can do this by just looking at the tag themselves. Here whats we’ve covered this week on pureelite

1. HTML + XHTML Cheat Cheets
2. CSS Cheatsheet
3. MySQL Cheatsheet
4. AJAX Cheatsheets
5. PHP Cheatsheet
6. Ruby on Rails Cheatsheet
7. Wordpress Cheatsheet

So if you’ve enjoyed reading them, please comment and tell other people about them!

Theres under a hundred wordpress tags, although in total theres thousands of different variations that they can be used in. Each tag has otpions and then within those, they can be edited, changed and improved.

Everything you see on a wordpress site is assigned by a tag, that tag either has a function or returns a value after a query. Much like php does.

Ruby On Rails, the best possible php framework thats out there. It can take thousands of lines and make them into only a few hundred.

A PHP Cheatsheet is great but for a language as complex as Ruby On Rails you need a cheatsheet all the time. As long as your not doing it everyday for seven days a week you should have this cheatsheet.

We meant to publish this earlier in the cheatsheet week but here it is, PHP Cheatsheet. If your going to code XHTML,CSS,AJAX and MySQL you WILL need PHP. PHP is probably the best thing I’ve ever come across online.

Its made my work simplier and faster. I can understand things faster and its generally just made my skills better. Before when I was using basic XHTML I had to quote clients with days and now i know some PHP Its put my work into a few hours. Over time, reading books, Talking to people and generally studying other peoples code I’ve learnt a huge amount.

We’ve got our HTML,XHTML,CSS and MySQL. Now to make it all fancy and dynamic.AJAZ is the running on requests without reloading the browser. This means that you can process and do functions without going to a new page with a new layout and styles.

For example the various AJAX libarys are in the Ruby on Rails, this powers the postings on twitter, the updating on tweetree and loading and saving data in website applications like fetchMP3 and Facebook.
jQuery

jQuery is a fast and concise JavaScript Library that simplifies HTML document traversing, event handling, animating, and Ajax interactions for rapid web development. jQuery is designed to change the way that you write JavaScript.

Using the last two days cheatsheets on HTML,  XHTML and CSS we can now make sure our website is dynamic by using MySQL to store our data.

MySQL is a database usually used to store data about users or the content on a website.

So yesterday we provided you with the best XHTML and HTML cheatsheets out there. Well now you’ve learnt and refreshed your memory about the code, your missing style. Style is  amust in this world, if you want to attract people, visitors and customers. Everyone is looking for something nice, friendly and compact to they’re needs.

CSS is the answer for inline styling. The “stylesheet” is where the css is kept and mostly inless its embeded its an external file thats mapped using one line of code.
